Bradley softball falls 6-3 to hosts at Louisville Classic

Sunday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bradley softball team squandered a chance to beat the host Cardinals on Sunday in its finale at the Louisville Classic.

Actually, several chances. The Braves left the bases loaded in each of the first three innings and stranded 12 runners overall in a 6-3 loss to Louisville.

Shortstop Gabby Stoner went 2-for-3 and had two RBIs and Maria Schroeder singled to extend her hitting streak to a career-best 13 games and the Braves (10-11), Catcher Kealia Wysocki had two of Bradley's 10 hits.

Louisville (19-5) scored two runs in the first, second and fifth innings. Bradley starter Julie Kestas allowed two runs in the first and was relieved by Emma Jackson after getting just two outs.

Jackson allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings before Megan Mahaffy came on in the fourth and pitched the final three innings, also allowing two runs.

Megan Hensley allowed four hits in five scoreless innings of relief to earn the pitching win for Louisville.
